OXFORD, Miss. - Terrico White scored a game-high 19 points to lead five Ole Miss players in double figures as the Rebels won their third straight in a 78-59 victory over Auburn in Tad Smith Coliseum Wednesday.

Auburn (13-9, 2-5) jumped out to an early 9-4 lead, but Ole Miss (13-9, 4-4) answered with a 21-5 run over the next six minutes to take a commanding 25-14 edge. The Rebels then upped the margin to 36-23 before stretching it to a 46-28 halftime lead.

*We were terrible to start and offensive rebounding by Ole Miss killed us,* said Auburn head coach Jeff Lebo. *We gave up 12 offensive boards in the first half, and that just killed us.*

In the first half alone, the Rebels outrebounded the Tigers 28-15 and outscored them 12-7 in second chance points. Ole Miss nearly outrebounded Auburn on offensive rebounds alone as the Rebels had 12 in the first half. Ole Miss made 6-of-17 shots from 3-point range and freshman Terrico Whtie had 14 points.

Auburn shot only 35.5 percent (11-of-31) from the field in the first half and only 3-of-10 from 3-point range compared to Ole Miss* 43.2 percent (16-of-37) shooting from the field.

*We came out very flat tonight and were not physical,* said Barber. *We were exposed. When you come out flat, you will get exposed in this league every night.*

The closest Auburn ever came in the second half was 13 points early on before Ole Miss stretched its lead to 63-42 with 7:36 to play and to as much as 78-56 with just over a minute left.

For the game, Auburn shot only 36.5 percent (23-of-63) from the field and 22.2 percent (6-of-27) from 3-point range while Ole Miss finished 42.9 percent (27-of-63) shooting, including 35.7 percent (10-of-28) from 3-point range.
